A part-time role with real autonomy (and real support). Perhaps you’ve been working in AML and KYC for a while now and you’re ready for a role with greater ownership and responsibility, where your professional judgement is valued and you play a central part in the firm’s compliance framework. If that’s hit the nail on the head, keep reading. You’ll be working within an ICAEW and FCA regulated environment, with well-established AML policies, controls and oversight in place. This is not a box-ticking role. It’s about applying your experience, maintaining strong controls, and managing risk well within a clear and proportionate governance framework. This is a part-time role (21 hours per week), working alongside senior stakeholders who understand AML properly and want to get it right. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our AML and KYC processes operate effectively, proportionately and in line with regulatory expectations. What you’ll actually be doing Around 70–80% of your time will be focused on core AML and KYC activity. This includes conducting customer due diligence (CDD and EDD), sanctions screening, beneficial ownership analysis, and using Companies House and related sources. You’ll manage rolling monthly client reviews, oversee the annual risk-assessment cycle, and maintain accurate, audit-ready records across Microsoft Dynamics CRM and First AML. The remaining 20–30% will focus on systems, reporting and workflow oversight. This includes ensuring data integrity across Microsoft Dynamics, reconciling CRM data with Excel-based trackers, producing partner-level monitoring reports, and identifying opportunities to improve workflows, automation and overall audit readiness. The workload is structured to fit the 21 hours. This is not a full-time role squeezed into fewer days (we promise). A key part of the role is coordinating partner input for rolling client anniversary reviews. You’ll produce monthly lists of clients due for review, coordinate structured partner sign-off, track progress, and follow up where information is outstanding, with clear backing and escalation routes to keep standards consistent and timelines moving. You’ll operate at an officer / senior level from day one, with day-to-day responsibility for AML and KYC activity across the firm. You’ll apply your professional judgement to risk ratings, due-diligence requirements and escalation decisions, working within the firm’s established governance framework, with clear escalation routes to our Practice Director, and one of our Partners and the firm’s MLRO, where required. The bulk of the more straightforward AML administration work is completed by our brilliant firm wide Business Support Team. Your role is to provide direction and quality control, enabling you to focus on higher-risk and more complex matters. What’s in it for you? A senior, trusted role This is a business-critical AML role, suited to someone with solid experience who is comfortable operating independently day to day, within a clearly defined oversight and escalation framework. Ongoing professional development There is scope to deepen your expertise further, including support towards ICA AML Diploma Level 6 where relevant. You’ll be working in an ICAEW and FCA regulated environment with a wide variety of interesting and complex clients, both UK and international. Genuine work–life balance This is a 21-hour-per-week role with flexibility around how those hours are structured. We operate a hybrid model (3 days in the office, 2 days at home) and take a pragmatic, adult approach to working patterns. A collaborative, knowledgeable environment You’ll work alongside senior people who understand risk, respect professional judgement and value proportionate, well-run compliance. Modern systems and forward thinking You’ll work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, First AML and Excel, alongside established digital workflows. There are plenty of opportunities to contribute to ongoing improvements, automation and smarter compliance processes, and this is actively encouraged. Who this role is for This role will suit someone who: • Holds an ICA AML Certificate or Diploma Level 4 (or equivalent AML training in a regulated environment), • Has proven experience delivering CDD and EDD independently, including sanctions screening, beneficial ownership assessment, overseas clients and higher-risk scenarios, • Is confident operating in a regulated professional-services environment, • Has strong experience working with CRM systems (ideally Microsoft Dynamics), Excel for reconciliation and reporting, and digital ID-verification platforms such as First AML, • Is comfortable managing rolling monthly and anniversary-based review cycles, • Can engage confidently with partners and senior stakeholders on AML matters, • ICA AML Diploma Level 6 (or are working towards it), • Experience supporting or deputising for an MLRO, • Exposure to Source of Funds or Source of Wealth assessments, • Experience within an LLP or accountancy-practice environment Who are Goodman Jones LLP?
